Tim Holland of Georgetown is now headed for Polk County Community College in Florida.
Maybe.
Word from the Royals’ camp is that the 4-year starter is being heavily scouted by a handful of pro teams as a hitter, led by the Anaheim Angels.
Holland is absolutely signable. He’s absolutely looking for a pro shot. Here’s to hoping he gets his shot in June.
By the way, Holland, who tossed a one-hitter against Rockport Thursday, is closing in on a major accomplishment. According to Eagle-Tribune records, he currently stands at 97 hits for his career, three from the magic 100 plateau.
As a taxpayer, even though it doesn’t involved my property taxes, I can’t believe that the folks in Methuen and Andover can’t get together on a way to solve their early tie.
The teams won’t pick up and settle that tie before Friday night’s clash on Ranger Road.
Instead, Methuen will take a $165 bus to Andover, which will employ $160 worth of umpires, for what might amount to an inning of work.
It’s not Arlen Specter tossing around millions trying to appease Steeler fans on a worthless investigation, but 300 bucks is 300 bucks.
Hey, how about them Hillies, who’ve won 4 straight to keep their slender MVC small title hopes alive.
Tewksbury clinched at least a tie, but the Hillies can win out, beg for some help and at least earn a share.
Heard through a source that the Gatorade folks are down to three as it comes to the 2008 Mass. Baseball player of the year. The three finalists are St. Peter-Marian’s Keith Landers, a Louisville-bound lefty; Clemson-bound Scott Weismann of Acton-Boxborough; and UConn-bound righty Scott Oberg of Tewksbury.
Am I the only one thoroughly impressed by Pentucket’s Justin Bolla and his wild streak of at least one hit and one RBI in all 13 of his team’s games?
And Bolla, hitting .538 with 27 RBIs in those 13 games, might not even be the favorite for team MVP.
Catcher Pete Creamer (.517) missed the first five games of the year, but has come back strong. Pentucket went 2-3 without Creamer and is 7-1 with him. That’s impact, folks.
Sticking with the CAL, North Andover has all but clinched in the large, a tribute to a Knight team that graduated a horse in UConn lefty Mike Hashem.
